It was a slooooooooooooow day in Admissions so we thought we’d go out and photograph some rooms for ya’ll in the various houses. Some are clean, some are messy, some are doubles and some are singles.

Intersection: Art and Physics

Trying to help my friend construct a sculpture earlier this month pushed me into foreign territory. I found myself wishing that I knew more about physics. It didn’t help when I looked around and saw this:

A creation by Chendru Starkloff who is using his understanding of physics and tapping in to professors here to make some really interesting work. 

The assignment for the Intro to Sculpture class was to create a sculpture that captures a movement you do everyday. His action: mounting his bike.

My friend Jillian Japka ‘12 studies architecture and philosophy (among other things) here at Bennington. The other day I joined her in the architecture studio to learn a little more about what she’s working on. 

I was working on a site plans and sections for my senior project, which is a multi-program design in Philadelphia. The site is a quarter mile strip in a neighborhood that is bordered by two highways, a bridge, and the Delaware River. These conditions have resulted in a lack of vitality for this neighborhood. My design aims to reconnect the neighborhood to the surrounding areas of Philadelphia and protect the street from the influence of the highways and bridge.   -Jillian

Those last three pictures are of the cartoon she drew about her project - just a little studio inspiration with anthropomorphized buildings!
